Doing Sonic 1-sized, Sonic 1-visual-styled sheets for other characters than Sonic

[The KKM]

Might take this chance to post this. Been mixing my rough Shadow sprite with a Sonic CD-style Shadow I once convinced Gardow to make. He's got a great palette, and great spriting (although obviously edited from Sonic, which is why I'm not directly just switching to using it), and great shading (a touch too great, even- had to remove some of the anti-aliasing and smooth transitions).



Any suggestions of where further to take this? I'm thinking I'd like the arms to be more like the Battle pose, but dunno.
